Whereas my VW TDI cloth heated seats, within 5 minutes on the highest 3 setting, it roasts you to where you HAVE to turn it down, and in fact if you don't, it turns itself down after a short time.

The X1 seats stayed on the max three setting for the entire trip, and I barely felt it. The X1 was only luke warm vs the VW bright hot.
Have you tried it when not in Eco Mode though ?
